      I will agree on the Mita 935/945 Monroe also had them, but lets also include Canon iRC 5800/6800 with developer units inside a turret, nightmare to repair

            Good news Dayer, they have solved the toner spewing problem on its replacement the MP C6502. They must have re-designed the waste toner system as it now shovels the toner straight into the WTB and fills it up in under 20k. Stand by for all the whining from the customer about how much it costs to run.
            At least 50% of IT is a solution looking for a problem.

              MP 9000/9001/9002. They should NEVER built a 90 ppm machine using the B246/D052/D062 chassis and parts. Runs dirty continuously and needs to be vac'd out every two weeks. Horrible, horrible machines.

                That's funny, we've got quite a few of those in the field and the cause us very little grief. A few more shut downs with SC54X codes then we'd like but they are absolutely spotless inside. Wonder what the difference is?

                  Maybe who has set them up. I have one in a high usage location and have never had a problem. They are however replacing it and a MP C4501 with a MP C6502. Color demand has gotten to the point where the 4502 just wasn't cutting it. They are also replacing two MP C6501 and an 8070 with MP C6502s.

                    The one's that my competitors sell....
                    Color is not 4 times harder... it's 65,000 times harder. They call it "TECH MODE" for a reason. I have manual's and firmware for ya, course... you are going to have to earn it.

                              In 1938 Chester Carlson invented the photocopier, the first commercially available photocopier was the Xerox 914

                                I always thought it was some monk (or maybe a scribe) in a monestary (sp?) somewhere. Very few CQ issues, but the PPM was fractional.
